Product Description
Product Description
This comprehensive guide provides overviews of the key psychological processes affecting mental health, such as development, attachment, emotion regulation and attention, and draws out the implications for preventive measures and promotion of emotional well-being. The authors, from a range of professional disciplines, emphasise the importance of early intervention and prevention, exploring in particular how initiatives in parenting and education can promote children's emotional well-being. The topics they cover include: *the prevention and management of addiction and eating disorders *the development of culturally sensitive services for ethnic minority children and families *the impact of parenting programmes and the life skills education programmes in schools *ways of meeting the mental health needs of children who are socially excluded, homeless or in local authority care. Providing examples of a broad range of projects and initiatives in Britain and other European countries, this handbook will be an invaluable resource for all professionals working in child and adolescent mental health.

Format:Paperback
I am particularly impressed by the approaches that the contributors employ in introducing the fundamentals of, and presenting imperatives on philosophies that underpin early developmental psychology.These are indeed addressed with precision. However, while the text presents a fulcrum, it lacks a brief introductory background on related potential disorders[ at adult level] that may be a result of the lack of promoting early developmental well-being and prevention of potential ill-health.
Examples would have included an emphasis on examinations related to the direct and simple manner in which potential schizoid personality disorders can be detected, and the correlation between this disorder and the likes of avoidant personality disorder (which, in many cases is misconstrued for schizoid disorders), anti-social personality disorder and causations in narcissist personality disorders, but to mention a few.
The background in question would have then facilitated the student reader to be accorded a chance to peek at the problem before solving it.
This text is indeed a highly recommended handbook for students and social care workers alike!!
